Looking Forward


Another crazy week! It seems every Monday I hear the insane news that makes it hard to concentrate on the rest of the week. I am the type of person that dwells on everything, and that is one of my downfalls. I keep thinking about things over and over and cannot move past them. It makes it hard to do my job and school work. This week we do not have class on Monday, and my mind should be at ease for the rest of the week. I am going to keep positive thoughts.

            How do you feel about writing research papers? It intimidates me! Some people enjoy English and Writing, but I enjoy Math and Science. I think it is more of the process than the work itself. I will have to read some books and articles to get my information for my research, and then organize my thoughts to write an excellent paper. When I do math, it is information that is already in my head. It is like a puzzle. The more I do it, the more I see the answer forming. Everyone has a different mind, that works in different ways. Which subject do you like the most?

            Summer is over, and Halloween is around the corner. I enjoy the change of seasons and the upcoming holidays. I am looking forward to spending more time with family during Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. My birthday is two days before Christmas, so that is another day to spend with family. People seem to be a little kinder during the holidays. After all the things I have been going through, it is reassuring to know we are heading into pleasant times. What is your favorite holiday and season?

    Dan, it has been so hectic for all of us these past few weeks! I want to help everyone with their work; somehow I feel like I can make things easier. This is note a cakewalk, but I have faith in myself, you, and our classmates. Keep your focus together and that will make things better. It's funny that you like Math and Science and Kim and I struggle so hard with these subjects. I mentioned in class how much I like Language Arts, but I have anxieties about writing papers. I want to conquer these feelings because I realize that makes writing that much more difficult. I know I have to dig my heels in and get to it--that time management issue again.
    With the holidays coming, I am seeing the light at the end of my tunnel. At least I hope so. This is my last semester before I test and attempt to student teach and then become certified. I enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas because I get a chance to spend quality time with my family. However, the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. My birthday is July 31st, so I celebrate all month.
    Best wishes Dan. We're almost there.

    Dan,
    Writing a research paper is difficult for me too. I really hope we all do well. The weather has been so warm for this time of year. Fall has always been my favorite time of year. Next October I am going to have an outdoor wedding. I am praying the weather is good. Christmas can me stressful for financial reasons, but I love Christmas. Good luck with your research paper.

Trying to remain calm

    Another week of school and more problems arise. The main issue is that we never had cable or internet installed at our new house. We moved in at the beginning of summer and figured it would be better to keep the kids outdoors than on the couch. I thrust myself into school last minute and am fighting to find places to work on a computer. My first couple assignments I used my daughter's school issued laptop. Everything worked out except I struggled with the different programs. This week I used my other daughter's laptop and had nothing but problems! I must have rewritten my essay three times because the computer would refresh and delete paragraphs on me. I had to bring my paper to work to finish it but did not want to send it in until my family proofread it. When my daughters and girlfriend came home, I had them go over it and tell me what they thought. Afterwards, I went to the library to put my essay into Word format. I make the blunder of emailing my essay! I feel great t...

Oxygen

   I love music! Music helps me think. I keep singing songs over and over in my head that relate to what is going on in my life. Lately, it has been Oxygen by the Dirty Head. The lyrics I keep hearing are  " Tornado; I see you coming around. Don't let go, you know I'm holding you down... If you're going under, then I'll be your oxygen."      I received a phone call from Moraine Valley earlier this week informing me my class did not have enough enrollment. Maybe it is for the better and God is helping me with my situation. I love that I started going back to school and I have learned a lot about myself. I am not as organized with my time as I thought I was and my family needs me more than I imagined.      When I was in high school, I rarely spent time at home. Kids are home all the time, yet their minds are in the cyber world. We need to teach them more important things than "likes" and "hearts." Life is more than getting approval on...
